Book 65: Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) · Hadith 13

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، سَمِعَ زُهَيْرًا، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ قِبْلَتُهُ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَإِنَّهُ صَلَّى ـ أَوْ صَلاَّهَا ـ صَلاَةَ الْعَصْرِ، وَصَلَّى مَعَهُ قَوْمٌ، فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ صَلَّى مَعَهُ، فَمَرَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِبَلَ مَكَّةَ، فَدَارُوا كَمَا هُمْ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي مَاتَ عَلَى الْقِبْلَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَوَّلَ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ قُتِلُوا لَمْ نَدْرِ مَا نَقُولُ فِيهِمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ ‏}‏

Narrated Al-Bara:The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed facing Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that his Qibla would be the Ka`ba (at Mecca). (So Allah Revealed (2.144) and he offered `Asr prayers(in his Mosque facing Ka`ba at Mecca) and some people prayed with him. A man from among those who had prayed with him, went out and passed by some people offering prayer in another mosque, and they were in the state of bowing. He said, "I, (swearing by Allah,) testify that I have prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Mecca." Hearing that, they turned their faces to the Ka`ba while they were still bowing. Some men had died before the Qibla was changed towards the Ka`ba. They had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (i.e. whether their prayers towards Jerusalem were accepted or not). So Allah revealed:-- "And Allah would never make your faith (i.e. prayer) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered (towards Jerusalem). Truly Allah is Full of Pity, Most Merciful towards mankind

Al-Bara bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) solah ya satrah mahine tak Bait-ul-Maqdis (Yerushalem) ki taraf rukh karke namaz padhte rahe, magar unki khwaish thi ke unka Qibla Kaaba ho. (To Allah ne 2:144 naazil ki) aur unhone Asr ki namaz (Kaaba ki taraf rukh karke) padhi aur kuch log unke saath padhe. Unmein se ek shaks jo unke saath namaz padh chuka tha, baahar nikla aur ek doosri masjid mein namaz padh rahe kuch logon ke paas se guzra, jo (us waqt) ruku ki haalat mein the. Usne kaha, 'Main Allah ki qasam khaakar gawaahi deta hoon ke maine Nabi (SAW) ke saath Makkah ki taraf rukh karke namaz padhi hai.' Ye sunkar unhone apne chehre Kaaba ki taraf mod liye jabke wo abhi ruku mein hi the. Kuch log Qibla badalne se pehle wafat pa chuke the, unhe shaheed kiya gaya tha aur humein nahi pata tha ke unke baare mein kya kahein (ke unki namaz - jo Yerushalem ki taraf thi - qubool hui ya nahi). To Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'Aur Allah tumhare Iman (yaani tumhari namaz) ko zaya nahi karega. Beshak Allah logon par bahut shafqat aur reham karne wala hai.'
